The Cellar

Persistent memory that compounds across every brew.

The Cellar is your private store of durable knowledge. After every brew finishes, an extractor LLM reads the final Pour and Archive output and proposes 0–5 new entries worth saving. Before every future brew, the Cellar is injected into the system prompt — so each brew starts smarter than the last.

Entry kinds

Kind	What it captures
fact	Durable facts about you, your work, or your domain
preference	How you want output shaped (tone, format, length, taboos)
pattern	Recurring workflows or structures that worked
glossary	Project-specific terms with crisp definitions

Each entry is one short sentence (≤ 280 chars), self-contained, no first-person.

How injection works

On every stage of every brew, the system prompt is prepended with:

The user's persistent Cellar (memory) is below. Honor preferences,
reuse glossary terms, and respect prior patterns.
<<CELLAR>>
{manual_pack if set}
- [preference] Keep tone calm and precise, never salesy.
- [glossary] "Pour" = the final refined output of a brew.
- [fact] User ships Solana-native tools.
...
<</CELLAR>>

Entries are ordered by weight (descending), then by recency. The default cap is 40 entries per prompt — tune it under Cellar → Settings.

Managing the Cellar

Open Cellar in the sidebar to:

• Pin entries (increase their weight)
• Edit wording in place
• Forget entries you don’t want re-injected
• Disable the Cellar entirely
• Set a manual pack — free-form text that’s always prepended above the auto-distilled entries

Auto-distillation

After each brew transitions to ready, the Archivist’s output is passed through a small extractor call:

1. Proposes up to 5 candidate entries
2. Lowercase-dedupes against your existing 200 most recent entries
3. Inserts the survivors with weight = 1

If the extractor returns nothing useful, nothing is written — the Cellar never grows noisily.

Privacy

Cellar entries are RLS-scoped to your auth.uid(). They are never included in public share links and never leave the AI Gateway calls scoped to your account.
